Well, from previous encounters from some larger companies here in the US most are okay. But there are some that are downright toxic. After spending the last 12 years consulting, the ones that exhibit this are the ones that mostly employ people 30 and below (and abuse the H1B visa system). It has become a common question that I ask when a contract opportunity has come up is: "Who is the company?" If they answer with one of these toxic companies, I just tell them I will pass. Maybe when their corporate culture changes this may change the answer, but until then, I will just continue with my current path and not be miserable when I am working.
Now THAT is an accurate statement. It was however something we always took serious as it was an FDA and later HIPAA requirement for medical devices. But alas, reading about some the the vulnerabilities in today's devices, I think they have been asleep at the wheel. Plus, who in their right mind would want to change someone else's heart rate remotely other than for nefarious reasons.
GWT had a lot to be desired. WAY too slow. (IMO). While it did remove some of the burden from writing code to run on the client, to me, it seems like it was just a server side applet framework. I think Wicket does a better job than GWT. Once you get used to it's behavior, it does seems to run faster than any GWT code I have had to write to perform the same functionality.
What I would be curious about, "Does Node.js have a security model?" Since it is Javascript, I am only guessing, but JS never really put much emphasis on security. This is the reason I avoid it like the plague.
With Wicket, you at least inherit Java's security model and integrates with other security frameworks like Spring, JAAS, etc....
I think I will pass on this one, it seems more a fad to me than a serious industry direction. Plus I got WAY too many languages running around in my head right now, It seems lately I have very little room to add another.
Dang, I am there as well. I like how the test puts you right on the edge to "Light Depression". Kind of makes you go, "Hmmmm, I wonder what I can do differently to put myself over that last 1 point"? But considering the goings on in this day and age, isn't pretty much everyone on edge lately?

What will this mighty "Do No Evil" company not try and do. Does anyone else see potential issues with a company known for trying to influence the masses into their way of thinking, that now they go for a brainwashing..... errr... Psychiatric AI?

I grew up on Okinawa, and I currently live in a heavy Hispanic state, so I do not have issues with accents and non-interaction of English as a second language. I just have an issue with poor pronunciation.
That is not the point. They deserve to be treated just like they treated their IT staff at Disney World. Like crap.
However, I did hear that the first one was pretty good, but the second one had parts of the movie where you could not understand the actors due to their heavy accents and guttural speech.
That is why there existed applications that allowed the user to STRIP out that "added functionality" for people who just want to watch the movie that they purchased. This happened to me when I noticed new DVD's would not longer play on my several year old player that did not connect to the internet. This was my decision to no longer purchase appliances or any of the media that required periodic updates via internet connection
I have a feeling that this will probably follow suit in pretty much the same manner. Someone will find a means to get the now defunct versions of the devices back into a working state. At least until someone screams "Copyright Infringement" a couple of times. Then it is down-hill from there
IMO, another bad decision by an equally bad company. The moment they replaced their IT staff, they became irrelevant to me. I will treat them just as they did their former employees.
I agree, it has now basically come down to "you have to collect the information directly from the caller" by accepting the call as most are using fictitious caller id information.
Heck, I have even got my own number as the caller. It does kind of toss in a certain amount of "WTF" in there when you get called by your own number and it is a telemarketer.
Nope, Far East Asia countries will still have their insatiable demand of Shark Fin Soup. It is pretty bad what is happening. Equivalent to what the US did to the Bison in the 1800's.
The fair use direction was just what Oracle tried under the Copyright Act because the Patent path was denied when Sun released to GPL.
I believe the appeals court got it wrong in 2013 as section 102(a) does not have any reference to programming language and it does NOT fall into the categories listed (methinks Oracle found a judge to fudge the interpretation), so 102(b) should have applied.
And yes, I understand that this eventually became Java API vs just Java (which in my opinion was a "ooops we want a do over" by Oracle AFTER they saw Android take off). The first judge I believe had it right in the first place. And he expressed his concerns (excerpt):
Each command calls into action a pre-assigned function. The overall name tree, of course, has creative elements but it is also a precise command structure — a utilitarian and functional set of symbols, each to carry out a pre-assigned function. This command structure is a system or method of operation under Section 102(b) of the Copyright Act and, therefore, cannot be copyrighted. Duplication of the command structure is necessary for interoperability.

Ummm, they do attach a vest laden full of explosives to themselves... So in short. YES!

Yes.
the answer is 42.
Well that would kind of push their agenda of pioneering space now, wouldn't it?

Geez, I was hoping to get through the article WITHOUT any bad flashbacks. You forgot RPG in your list.

Your last statement sounds like a bonus, they would not longer push updates that keep breaking things anymore.
They are the reason I will not watch the new Star Wars movies. Once Lucas sold out to them, they became a "no longer interested" collection.
IMO, another bad decision by an equally bad company. The moment they replaced their IT staff, they became irrelevant to me. I will treat them just as they did their former employees.

Yea, sorry, I screwed up that post with the method in which I submitted.

"Fair use" once Java was released under GPL(2007). Appeals court agreed.. However Oracle filed another appeal, so it seems that is not over yet.
Oh stop it already. Most people are already tired of people subverting non-political posts.
It was not for their lack of trying. Heck they even went after Google for their use in Android, but GPL prevailed on that one.
